Re: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Grow Animation (again)

Feel free, I was just wondering what's the best setup, on one hand it's
nice and simple to be able to call
myLayer.grow() or
myLayer.shrink()
On the other hand the animation extension approach is more solid.
Is there an easy way to link the two?
something like:

DynLayer.prototype.setGrow= function(dlyr,stepn,stepsize,speed) {
 this.grow = new Animation.Grow(dlyr,stepn,stepsize,speed);
}

DynLayer.prototype.grow= function() {
if(this.grow)this.grow.playAnimation(false);
}

DynLayer.prototype.shrink= function() {
if(this.grow)this.grow.playAnimation(true);
}

Could it be so simple, or am I missing something?

> Also what do you think of the java like class setup.
I found it "interesting", but I'm not a  Java user, so I'm not sure how that
works, and as I have enough to do as it is, I leave the structural changes
to those who know what they are talking about  ;O)

BTW I found a PDF on cross-browser JAVA, with something on the Mac, and
having to call something twice for it to work, do you want me to look for it
again?
